I am confirming IOS 14's Bluetooth issue with Airpod Pro.
From my Iphone x to Iphone 12, ISO 14.1~14.3, my two Airpod Pros appear to have connected to my phone but not actually connected. In the Bluetooth setting, Pro shown connected to the phone. But I can not play any music and no youtube sound from Airpod Pro.
They work with ipad in ISO14.3 without any issue. My phone setting has no issue with old Airpod. So, I thought my phone setting has unknown interference Bluetooth connection to the airpod Pro.
After seeing the tip in the forums, I power off my apple watch. My connected Airpod Pros began to work. I can operate them as normal. Therefore, for sure, the IOS, Airpod PRO, and apple watches, something does not work together. This happen on some phone like my.
After connecting two both left and right Pro and playing sound, I turned on the watch. The connection to the pro still work. If I place both left and right PRO into the case and close the cap, I will fail to reconnect the Pro to my phone. If I place only one Pro set inside the case, the connection is still effective.
There, as long as watch is connecting to the phone, the watch prevent new connection from my Pro to the phone.
I hope Apple can resolve this for all the phone.
